Are Psilocybin “Magic” mushrooms as addictive as opioids?

  1. Yes
  2. No
Explanation

Answer: No. Evidence points to psilocybin mushrooms lacking the same addictive chemical potential of more common drugs of abuse (e.g., opioids, stimulants). However, clients may continue to use psilocybin mushrooms to attain pleasurable feelings associated, which can lead to somewhat problematic, compulsive patterns of behavior.
